Genuine Horse Butt Leather Strop with and without 1.2oz Chromium Oxide 0.5 Micron Polishing Compound Bar (DCE)

HORSE BUTT LEATHER STROP For more than a century, the best razor strops were made from tough horse butt leather. Horse butt leather is some of the hardest, toughest and most durable leather you can buy. The natural silicates found in bare leather are what abrade and polish steel. Horse butt has a higher silicate concentration than most any other leather making it the perfect stropping material. This horse butt strop will put a scary, wicked sharp edge on razors, knives, carving chisels and woodworking tools. This strop has two distinct sides, a smooth hair side and a slightly rougher flesh side. The rough flesh side is perfect for holding polishing compound and useful for initial stropping. The smooth hair side is best used plain for the final strop. These have been custom die cut to our specifications with the overall size being 12 inches x 3 inches. The material is 3/32 to 9/64 inch thick and can taper slightly in thickness from one end to the other. The leather is not dyed to hide
